iPhone Lockscreen Defeated – Daily Security Byte

November 23, 2016 By Corey Nachreiner

A YouTuber recently found a new way to bypass the iOS lockscreen. On one hand, this isn’t that severe an issue since it requires physical access to your devices, and requires 16 different steps to pull off. On the other hand, this is the exact type of attack that could allow attackers (or FBI) unencrypted access to your iPhone if you lose it. Watch last Friday’s video for more details.
